HOW THE FUCK WOULD I KNOW?
I don't care. if they get listed too, then good. in the meantime, i'm
happy that at least one more spamhaus or open relay is listed.

yes, fine. if they deserve it, they should get listed too.

stop repeating the same irrelevant crap as if it somehow supports your
argument.
the fact that some other ISPs support spam is NOT IN ANY WAY
justification for your ISP to support spam.

i already told you what i think in the last message. that you are
attempting to introduce irrelevancies into the argument.

i don't know and i don't give a flying fuck. i'm not joe jarad and i
don't run his RBL, so i don't presume to speak for him.
as far as i'm concerned, they're a spamhaus and/or an open relay. they
deserve to get listed. end of story. what other ISP's do is completely
and utterly irrelevant to iadvantage's listing in the osirusoft RBL.

could it be that they don't ever do anything about their spamming
customers? could it be that they don't ever bother responding to spam
complaints?
perhaps if they bothered responding to spam complaints (or better yet,
actually terminated their spamming customers' accounts) they might get
more favourable treatment. it's their problem if they choose to
compound their error by ignoring complaints and doing absolutely nothing
to solve the problem,

bullshit. that's the whole point of your pathetic whinge.

as has been pointed out to you at least twice in this thread, they are
NOT immune.
i'll say it again because you seem particularly thick on this point:
THEY ALSO GET LISTED WHEN THEY ARE CAUGHT RUNNING OPEN RELAYS OR REFUSE
TO TERMINATE A SPAMMING CUSTOMER'S ACCOUNT.
i know that for a fact because i've had to deal with the fallout several
times when telstra's or ozemail's (or any other largish ISP) mail
servers get blacklisted by any of the RBLs i use.
unlike iadvantage, telstra and ozemail actually do something about their
spam problem when they get listed, so they eventually get unlisted.
